My sister-in-law loves flowers and rich colors like red and gold. I crafted this paperbag album for her as a surprise birthday﻿ gift. I used a little bit larger paper bag to allow for lots of pictures, journaling and deep pockets for all the "extras". She loved it!! I chose the gorgeous Mariposa richly embellised paper line from DCWV for this special gift. Hard to go wrong when you start with quality basics. My focus whenever I create is to compliment a photo or patterned paper, not to overwhelm my pages or layouts with embellishments. ﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿﻿

Another little trick: Instead of tossing those scraps into box for "another day", use those scraps right away for a card or to decorate a gift bag or tag, keeps those scraps down to a minimum.﻿

About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the world--nothing fancy just honest country living. I live with my sweet husband of 10 years near a tiny little town in an amazing little hide-away, surrounded by trees and nature. Our kids are grown and it's just us, unless you count the joy of my life--three small LhasaPoos--Elvie, Hunka & Gracie. And let's not forget our yellow labs, Rob & Beau, who basically are responsible for my serious obsession. I became seriously addicted to cardmaking and scrapbooking while recovering from a broken ankle & leg, in a storm ravaged house with boarded up windows. Perfect recipe for depression unless you find your passion.
Four years later, we are living in a 1920's farmhouse, with a big red barn and old windmill--a perfectly picturesque setting.
And so, welcome to my passion!
